What Happened to Barbie?
What happened to playing Barbie's?
Have the girls of my class fallen that low?
To not think of when they played with dolls?
Instead of dressing up as princesses
The girls of our time now dress themselves down
Just to get a"Ken" to call them back
Once we all looked up to Barbie
Because she could be anything she wanted
Now these same girls drop out of school
I remember when we all wanted pregnant Barbie
Just because she came with a baby and a ring
Girls of today will settle for an infant
So many memories of playing house
No matter how long we played, Barbie didn't care
But girls my age are stuck with taking care of their growing families
Girls, why have you stopped being innocent?
Did I not get the memo?
What happened to Barbie?

makes one question if it was the Barbie in the first place, That the girls are becoming Barbies......
But it is also society as well.....sigh.
But I remember playing with dolls, I am not sure why maybe it is about "Practice" they say, or being part of the big worl.... They seem harmless, ( mind you I never playe with Barbie unless making fun of her) but I have seen girls more than boys trying to become women quicker and quicker which is scary. Little girl days was so fun.
Are you a feminist? Cause you seem really cool!
